Bowling Rules

Golden Rule

First and foremost all United Social Sports leagues are 50% Social and 50% Sport. We do have officials; however, we expect individuals to respect the league’s culture of fair and fun play. Foul language and rough play will not be tolerated and individuals who cannot adhere to our standards of sportsmanship may be asked to leave the league. United Social Sports wants everyone to have a fun and be social while enjoying a great sport. USS will do whatever they can to make sure all players are having fun.

General Guidelines & Rules

United Social Sports is proud to relieve captains of the burden of paying for full teams. While captains and players are able to prepay for additional players and or full teams, it is not a requirement for participation in our leagues. We welcome individual player payments.

We are also proud to welcome those who do not have a full team (small groups and free agents) to participate in our league.

Our primary mission is to make it easier for people to have fun and get involved with social sports and these policies help accomplish that goal.

Because of these policies, all registrations are on a first come first serve basis and any roster that does not reach our standard size (based on each sport) is eligible to receive free agents and or small group(s) by the league. Rosters made up of primarily free agents and or a collection of small groups may field more players than the standard roster size. This policy is in place to help ensure free agent teams are able to consistently field teams each week and that we deliver on our mission to help people connect socially and to play more often!

1. The commi.sh (Commish) website is your go to for all things about your league. Make sure to log into it regularly to check your team’s record, schedule and to communicate with your team via email. Most teams use the thread to coordinate meetup times, social gatherings outside of games and of course your Spirit Week costumes!

2. Your registration fee includes everything for the season– the bowling, shoes, the drink specials, the league organization, and the Season Parties.

3. Please remember that we are guests of the bowling alley. If something occurs that is against their Code of Conduct, players can be asked to leave the facility and there will be no refunds issued.

4. If you have additional questions make sure to check out our FAQs page or email us at [email protected]

Teams, Game Times, Schedules

1. Each team must have 6-10 players on their roster for the season. Not every player is required to be present each week. There is no gender requirement.

2. Every player must be at least 21 years of age.

3. Per our merging practices from our FAQ page, groups that do not meet the required number of players on a roster may merge with free agents or groups to become a team.

4. Reaching team promotion status does not opt your team from receiving additional players unless you have reached the official roster size (8).

5. Our schedule is a LIVE form. Game times are entered for the season but do have the ability to be moved due to changes with the league, location or teams. Schedule requests can be made but we do not guarantee that we can honor every request.

6. The regular season last 5 weeks. Games and times are generated randomly.

7. Playoffs are determined after the regular season has concluded and are based on scheduling and other league logistics. All teams may not make the playoffs.

Scoring/Timing

1. Teams bowl one match against another team each week for 5 weeks.

2. Each team has approximately 85 minutes to bowl as many games as they can fit in that time. Typically that is 1-3 games.

3. The “Team Score” that counts for your team is the sum of the top 4 scores from ONE game that you choose to submit (the game with the highest 4 scores). You may NOT mix-and-match scores from multiple games.

4. Bowlers who are absent must be skipped on the bowling console. Substitutes may not bowl for missing teammates and a player may not bowl under two names.

5. If a “substitute” was bowling for a missing bowler, or a teammate was bowling under multiple names, the team may be required to forfeit that game or take a zero as one of the counted team scores at the league host’s discretion.

6. If your bowling is shut-off before you finish your current game, existing scores may count as of the final ball rolled. Example if you bowl your first frame as a strike, you cannot assume you will bowl an additional strike and you will be simply awarded 10 for the actual ball bowled.

7. If a bowler comes late, they may join in for that current game, or wait and join in the next one.

8. If a team fields less than 4 players, they may still bowl. However, the missing bowlers will be counted as 0’s. So if three bowlers showed up, the total team score would only consist of 3 scores from their best match.

9. Each player present must participate in at least one game.

10. In the event of a significant lane malfunction that costs 5 minutes or more, the team may request additional time at the discretion of the host. Teams may not have more than 85 minutes of bowling in total.

11. Forfeits (not showing up), are treated the same as a loss with 0 points.

12. Team captains are required to report their scores to the league host THAT NIGHT. Scores not entered by then may be counted as a zero. Your scorecards must be signed off by the opposing captain for verification. If scores are found out to be altered that game will result in a forfeit and we’ll need to have a conversation with the captain and team.

13. Teams may not reset their scores after the first 15 minutes of bowling have elapsed, and they may only reset scores once (unless there has been a scoring malfunction which requires a reset). This is to prevent teams from resetting their scores until they get the best scores possible. Additionally, teams may not skip players such that there are less than 4 players if they have 4 or more players present for the same reason. This will be especially enforced in the playoffs.

14. However – teams may use a “practice period” if they like, provided they reset the scores within the first 15 minutes. If it is during playoffs and the team is playing for the championship, they must let their host know beforehand that they will be using a practice time.

Standings and Playoffs

1. A Capital Bowling season is 6 weeks total. The first 5 weeks are the regular season with the 6th week being our Playoffs.

2. The score you decide to use for your weekly match will be the score entered into commish.

3. Standings are based on teams’ Win-Loss-Tie record.

4. In the case where there are ties then we will go with head-to-head matchup, a team’s’ overall average score for the season, and then score differential.

5. For week 6 (Playoffs), teams will be seeded based on standings and their match will be against the team closest their own seed from 1vs2 and on down.
